DUDE YOU SAVED ME THANK YOU

I hate hate hate to bump myself, and I apologize but I am totally at a loss now. Would really appreciate any help!

TL;DR version: successful Mavericks install with Unibeast 5.0.2 USB stick on H55M S2v i3 540 but new installation does not appear in bootloader after install. "Startup disk" in Unibeast install verifies installation. non-fatal errors: parsing plist fatal erros: Mach 0 file has a bad...

New installation NOT in bootloader? Hi all-- H55M S2V F3 v1.4 i3 540 4 GB RAM 5 internal HDD drives, 1 CDR GEForce 240 Had this rig running fairly stably for many years, upgrading all the way from 10.6 to 10.9.5. My problems started when I tried to upgrade to 8GB of RAM, replacing my...

Hi all I've searched the forums and found conflicting and possibly outdated information. I have a trusty old warhorse HTPC: H55-S2V (no digital audio out) GeForce 210 1024mb I'm looking to connect it to the coax digital input on my 5.1 Vizio soundbar (toslink is taken up by Apple...

This is a huge help, thank you. exactly that kind of information about internal drives overall being more efficient than external in enclosures... makes sense. low watt high efficiencies PSU, those are the 80 plus right? And if the mac mini was not designed with power consumption as a...

Thanks for the tip on the Broadwell chips... might wait on those. My electricity costs 14 cents / kwh so this 24/7 server at 100watts is running me about $122/year. I'd rather pay $12 for the 10watt mac mini. But again, I'm unclear how much power 5 internal drives pull...

gentle nudge?

Hack or mini+external drives? Ultra Low Power 24/7 server - Power Consumption question Hi all Been enjoying my two hacks I made 3 years ago thanks to all the expert advice on these forums, they're still going strong. However, I'm looking to upgrade my 24/7 server: GA-H55M-S2V H55 1156...

Thanks so much for your reply! You're a life saver. I didn't know anything about DSDTSE... it's an app that I download and then I can enter my particular network or graphics chipset and it will give me the appropriate PciRoot(0x0) etc. ? And then I enter that same PciRoot informaiton into...

Argh... I can't bring myself to do it, but I've searched everywhere on many different sites, without finding much answer to this so I will risk a serious breach of forum etiquette adn self-bump... anyone? (hides)

Hi I'm looking to apply the AppStore "unknown error" fix as described here http://www.tonymacx86.com/mountain-lion-desktop-support/64547-icloud-app-store-facetime-messages-unable-authenticate.html#post412258 which requires injecting a custom device properties string into your...

dude look up SLYR on here, he's talked me through getting it operational. Super Cool guy, very knowledgeable, he's the same guy from that post you linked to.

Thanks so much for your reply. Here's what i got using what you said:

Hi all-- I've torn through as many posts as I can stand trying to solve this on my own before I decided to just beg for mercy. Here's the scoop: P67A-UD4-B3 2600k i7 8 gig RAM Quadro 4000 for Mac I had a working, stable hack running 10.6.8. I have 2 partitions: KELLS: about 250 GB for system...

Re: quadro 4000 Displayport doens't work properly I have the same problem. Did you ever solve?

I'm gonna go out on an idiot limb here and just doublecheck: this fix would only work for ATI cards right? My Quadro 4000 would be unaffected? Let the mockery begin.

Anybody else having this problem with Nvidia cards? Quadro 4000 in particular?

Me too on Quadro 4000... I can boot up from the displayport, and it shows me all the DOS stuff and BIOS and Chameleon, the gray apple screen, but then it goes black. Switching the monitor to the DVI plug works perfectly. Any ideas?

Re: Quadro 4000 not FULLY recognized - displayport UPDATE: finally got drivers in correctly and in the right order, and the card is recognized! However, I can't get anything out of the displayport.... I can boot up from the displayport, and it shows me all the DOS stuff and BIOS and Chameleon...
